So just how much vinyl do YOU own?

My LRS buys complete collections and unfortunately that may include some dross.

So no they are not deliberately buying junk records.

More likely a complete collection similar to yours at the onset. Then they cull the chaffe just as you did and send them onto another world.

A lot of the collections they buy its take all or nothing.

This guy likely has the largest selection in Florida for sale.

Lol @slaw

Currently around 3000+.  I've easily owned over twice that.  I've got about 1000 within reach and the other 2K are in storage.  Guess I've already 'cherry-picked' the best for whoever comes after me!;)

and then there's this guy from Brazil, with 6 million LPs:

And I wonder just how many of that 6 million are really Goodwill store fodder.

Just vinyl for vinyl sake. 

I know he is reputed to really love vinyl but still... 6 million?
